This Beef Stroganoff recipe could be made with any leftover steak or nice tender beef strips and your favorite kind of mushrooms. 

I am completely serious when I say that I might love leftovers more than the original serving. 

I realize there are some exceptions, but for the most part I’m a leftovers kind of girl.

We recently enjoyed some fine Ribeye steaks (remind me to tell you later about the reverse-seared method Nick used to cook them). 

Any how, we found ourselves with enough leftover steak to turn into Beef Stroganoff.

We used these gorgeous Shiitakes that we found at the farmers market.

Here is the best recap of our recipe…however any dish, like Stroganoff, that has layers of ingredients and flavors is your chance to nuance with a little of this and a lot of that. 

Get happy.  Great leftover ingredients deliver wonderful dishes.

Recipe note: if you have access to fresh herbs feel free to substitute minced fresh thyme, sage and tarragon for a fresh flavor pop!
